Had a kiddo come in the other day holding his jacket over his face after being outside (I'm thinking bloody nose)... LD: Hey Nurse ****! Do you have a mask or something to block the cold air? It's...

Oh yes! I don't think us "native Texans" would know what to do with standard, seasonal weather!! I can't wait for our cold front to hit tonight though! High tomorrow is gonna be 55*! Better pull out...

Part of my policy to be in school includes "being clinically well to attend". I get a lot of kiddos who have been on abx for the 24 hour window that allows them to return to school, but they still...

This happened to one of my kiddos at the end of October too. I have no clue how the clot even fit in his tiny nose!! Once the clot was out, the bleeding slowed waaaaaaay down and then stopped. It was...

2 stomach ache complaints. One has already gone home but I suspect she'll be back tomorrow considering she did THE EXACT SAME THING the week before Thanksgiving break and returned the next day. No...
So, a few weeks ago I posted about looking for an abstinence program for my school. While we haven't settled on a specific program yet, I have to tell y'all, I think we accidentally created the best...

Plus side #1: she KNEW you needed the info! That can be considered a win! Plus side #2: God love her for considering your sanity and not wanting to overwhelm you. So many people don't consider others...

Gah! This is such an obvious answer!! I have no clue why I didn't even think of this Thank you!!! Thank you Ctate! Bless his heart. I hate when they have to process so much emotional stress that...
*Admins, please do not post on Facebook* Hello all. I'm needing some help. I have been approached by one of my SPED teachers regarding one of her students. She has asked me if we have a "mental health...

Very good points, Ruby! Yes, his mom and his teachers have been in constant communication about his emotional state. I have recently been added to the email thread they all have going and from what I...

HA! My son is the same way! But since we're hosting as well, I'll most likely make him a protein he WILL eat....usually in the form of fish sticks or chicken

We're out all next week too! But it just dawned on me why I've seen a drastic increase in visitors the last two days....everyone is ready for a week long break!! We're all a little tapped out so next...
KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School
We're hosting! Which is cool because now we don't have to pack up my entire house for the baby (because I'm notorious for over packing. It's what I do ) We'll have my family, my in laws, my sister's...

Y'all. Have I got a story for you!!! Had a student fall and break their arm last Friday. I'm talking no need for an x-ray, you can clearly see the deviation in the ulna!! Poor kid! Unfortunately, I...

Did NOT see that last sentence coming! I would have had to kindly remind the teacher, I (with my nursing degree and experience in the medical field) can not diagnose anyone and that s/he should...
My charting leaves a lot to be desired, I'm afraid I feel I sometimes type too much and others too little and while I try to chart very professionally (and with the correct nursing jargon) sometimes...

Several of our teachers and our Principal and admin assistant dressed up at emojis. I wasn't "included" in this idea but it's all good. I got to wear my "You Don't Scare Me! I'm a School Nurse" shirt...

Had a nice bleeding head wound yesterday (naturally, it was a small little wound that just bled a lot. like they do). Got the kiddo squared away, talked to his mom (whom I went to nursing school...
